Comment 14 for bug 748340

Just wanted to add that the exact same thing happens to me too (Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64 on a brand new Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop), even when I boot from the live CD or in recovery mode. While that error message:

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2

 is being displayed, the screen flashes continuously as well. But if I hit [s] while that flashing occurs & the message is being displayed, it boots fine. I don't have LZO compression but there is one disk partition that I have not enabled mounting in fstab.
